Joined by Frank from 5AM Ramen as he shares his exploration of Abura Soba, or Soupless Ramen. Frank highlights several shops that are early pioneers, including Sankou and Chinchintei. We also discuss a recent experience at a Michelin starred shop, leading to a Schmoe rant. Our favorite Ramen Drama comes to a close, so Frank and I review the final episode of Gyoretsu no Megami - Ramen Saiyuki (Mondays @ 10pm on TV Tokyo). In this episode a rival Ramen group undercuts our protagonists shop with a cheaper copycat bowl. How did our hero get out of this pickle, and is there any basis in reality?
